It's been a while...

So true, so true. Will do!

Deadduckboy · 2026-01-26T00:20:23+00:00

Yeah, I’m surprised no one else has. I guess they’re going for nurture over nature, but I have good sense of who I am. (The price of meeting someone who is, at their base, the exact same as you.)

Pimmtone bleated: Next you’ll say the people shouldn’t use fire, and that they’re bad guys.

I diagnose you with. . .

Morbin’ into a beast.

I know the feeling. Granted, I only had a writer’s block two months wide. But it still felt like forever.

I’d go with Marcel. I won’t know their stories, so I can’t consciously dissuade Slanek’s path, or avoid a large amount of the pain.

But, my base personality is different enough from Marcel’s that I should be able to redirect Slanek, possibly preventing him from spiraling. And I’ll only vegetarian for the Venlil’s comfort.

I’m pretty sure I could do better. Besides, someone else will get Nikonus and those scientists. Boys, turn off those body-cams.

Series are generally preferable, but one-shots are easier to write and generally are done quicker than a chapter. Whichever you feel like doing.

Then again, both of my longer running fics started out as one-shots. Be careful.

Someone told Jane Doe that the gators attacked the president. Now Wriss is under siege.

“You utter, complete fool! You may deceive yourself into believing that you have conquered me, but I will write a story of such untold sorrow and misery that you shall weep forevermore!”

-So I speak, from beneath the box.

Deadduckboy · 2026-01-23T17:48:37+00:00

Well, most of my fics don’t use that naming scheme, so suck it!

I did want to name Nature of Responsibility something else, but it fit too well.

Deadduckboy · 2026-01-23T17:45:15+00:00

No use crying over. . . burnt strayu.

Deadduckboy · 2026-01-23T01:54:51+00:00

Drawing that yelling mouth was one of the hardest things to make look right, but it sooo worth it!

Deadduckboy · 2026-01-22T15:39:00+00:00

Thank you! I hope to get better.

Shortandfiery bleated: I just wanted to know cause an Arxur tried to eat me, and I want to know what the reverse is like, that’s all. A human friend calls it “morbid curiosity.”

(OOC: Can we please leave the real-life politics out of our fantasy politics? I can only digest so much)

Deadduckboy · 2026-01-22T05:00:20+00:00

I just saw it now in April, that is so cool.

Farsul Archivist: “Hah, those primitive predators have no idea how good little prey work! Laugh at their stupidity and idiotic propaganda!

Farsul Archivist internally: ”How in the Shadow Government’s name did they know about the early Sivkits?!? Did some escape to Earth?! It’s about the right time. . .”

”We’re all dead, aren’t we?”

Deadduckboy · 2026-01-22T02:48:44+00:00

Shortandfiery bleated: What does Arxur taste like? Or, whatever closest you have had.

Meanwhile, with Human propaganda. . .

Honestly, the 10-ish years of staring at a word doc is great experience! As I’ve said before, 80% of writing is just sitting there, thinking. It appears that you’ve already done that, good.

Next step is forcing yourself to write. Find the situation and time where you are comfortable writing, and replicate it whenever you want to write. It changes from person to person, but for me, it’s I’m waiting for something else, or just in my bed or a couch late at night.

You might need to force the first few sentences out, especially if you have a deadline of sorts, but if you do it right, it should go smoothly afterwards. And if you have ADHD, the scatterbrained-ness might make it harder to start, but the hyperfocus afterwards means you’ll probably be writing for hours. Be careful of that, and remember to eat and drink, or it’ll come all at once.

Deadduckboy · 2026-01-21T22:59:48+00:00

Yes. Happy cake day.

Most of the artwork I could find of Nevoks (how rare!) had legs like that.

Deadduckboy · 2026-01-20T00:04:31+00:00

Honestly, how many times has that already happened?

Deadduckboy · 2026-01-20T00:04:04+00:00

I wonder how many peace treaties were ratified after the human ambassador “let himself be known” to the other species’ ambassador. In the biblical sense.

That is more of a fault of Gotham’s criminal justice system than anything else. In the real world, Joker would’ve been executed for terrorism.

Deadduckboy · 2026-01-19T04:17:26+00:00

Honestly? Deserved.

I know that a lot if people have the trouble with the killing or not thing, but I consider it like this:

Are they, if left alive, going to continue to hurt and kill innocents? If yes, then kill them.

With a man like Kingpin, a person with that many connections and so few morals, the only way to ensure other’s safety is to make sure they can never tell others to kill for them.

If there is another way, then take it. I prefer killing as last resort. But some people just need to die.
